Internships

Interns at the Bell Library exchange their time and effort for experience and learning opportunities. Each unpaid internship is tailored to the individual; we pair your needs and interests with ours. Interns must be enrolled as undergraduate or graduate students (at any institution worldwide) or must have graduated no more than one year prior to application. To set up an appointment, contact Dr. Marguerite Ragnow at 612-624-6895 or by e-mail: ragn0001@umn.edu

OUR INTERNSHIP POSITIONS FOR 2014-2015 HAVE BEEN FILLED. Contact us beginning March 2015 for Summer 2015 internships.

Student Employment

Undergraduates are key members of the Bell Library staff. While students tend to continue their employment with the Bell throughout their college careers, we do hire 1-4 students each year due to graduation or internships. To discuss employment opportunities, contact Margaret Borg at 612-624-7040 or by e-mail: jfbell@umn.eduNote: We can only hire students with Work Study funding.

Jesuit Manuscript
Language skills often play a role in the type of internship project students undertake. Archival processing, translation, and research using manuscripts such as this one are common. Students with different skills might be trained in conservation or other other aspects of archival processing.
